I am finished the first section. I am loving the course. The tutors are amazing and always there when you need help. None of it. Every bit I am enjoying so far. I am also learning a lot about myself as well.

To be honest, I thought this by doing this Diploma would enable more options moving forward. If guess if I could change anything it would that it would provide more opportunity. On the other hand, I would be sad to see people doing these assessments to think that they can work as a counsellor. There is definitely a lot of other learnings which I am grateful to have had when studying towards a Bachelor Degree and also the trainings I have been able to have (as well as job opportunities)

I start the coursebecause I got involved as a petminder and want to have the understanding of how to bath the dogs before returning to it owner. I did acouple of assignments and wasn’t sure why my assignments wasn’t submitted when I thought it was. I then was having a lot of trouble with my laptop and internet. I didn’t realise I was removed from doing my course once my laptop and internet was up and running properly. I had to contact academy adn they allowed me to do my course online and gave me a timeframe when I need it done by. I was very happy with it. I then finally figured out how to submit my assignments and got feedback. And then had trouble with questions and waiting for a reply to help on how to answer the question.

Sorry to miss your call I was in a lecture. I found the course very interesting and mind opening. I am going to go further in to studying this later on in my educational journey as I want to do sports psychology. I personally loved the feedback from the tutors and rate the course 4.5 overall. I did not like the new changes to the submitting part where you have to wait for the results because submitting the next assessment as I liked to work ahead when I could and submit them as soon as I could but I understood the update/change.I am not currently looking at doing another course through career academy because I am currently doing a bachelors but I would definitely recommend.
